CONSTANT PITCH
This function is used to process work pieces having a constant machining pitch. Let us
suppose, for example, that six holes are to be drilled, having a pitch of 13.75 mms:

The instrument goes on to consider the other Axes. Enter the values or continue to press
EXE until you return to the initial X Axis (the LED on the X-Axis display flashes). Make the
first hole (the X-Axis display must indicate the dimension Zero. If this is not so, move the
Carriages to Zero
).
Key
The X display show the value

X
Follow the Zero with the Carriage and make the second hole Proceed as described until
the work piece has been completed. If it is not necessary to repeat the same operation on
other work piece, press CLR. If it is, press REF. The display will indicate the total value of
the last position reached, that is to say:
13.75 x n° 5 pitches = 68.75 (return to Zero with the Carriage, enter X and start
again)
It must be remembered that:
A)
The direction of counting must be the same as the direction of displacement (if
necessary, use
+/-
to reverse it while entering the pitch, that is to say:
13.75 +/-
EXE
).
B)
Carrying out holes in succession does not lead to errors of the “cumulative” type,
even if the positions have not been reached with any great precision by the operator.
C)
It is not possible to perform any other functions during this operation.
